March Madness

March is a wonderfully busy month for our family. It seems like every activity we have been looking forward to is packed into these 31 days. Add in three family birthdays (my Dad , my sister & my step-son), an uncooperative computer and preparing for company at the end of the month all means I'm incrediby behind in my posts!

So far this month we've been to:

the Grant Seafood Festival

the Strawberry festival

The Band Perry concert

the TICO Airshow.

Over the next two weeks:

my future pilot will be performing at the Brevard County Fair

we'll be going to the New Smyrna Airshow

we're going to try out indoor sky-diving

my wonderful brother and sister-in-law are coming in from Missouri

we're all taking a mini vacation at our favorite resort on the beach

(I plan to sleep all of April)

One of my favorite memories of the past few weeks was my future pilot trying to convince the mechanic that a soda, some donuts, a snowcone and some cotton candy did not constitute too much sugar and that they needed more cotton candy. Here's what I saw from across the picnic bench:

{I really think more cotton candy is a great idea}

{My persuasive speech will sway you to my side...}

{No, well how about my pouty face...}

Pouty faces don't work in our house, so there was no more sugar for the day. We did eat real food at the 46th annual Grant Seafood Festival. In addition to the yummy sweets we had fried shrimp, scallops, crab cakes, lobster bisque and conc fritters. I look forward to the festival and an excuse to stuff myself with tons of seafood. The calories don't really count due to all the standing in line to get food, walking to the next food booth and wandering through all the craft tents.
